Can't believe it. Just out and about for a small jaunt this morning and spotted two other GTI's, another white and a silver one. Have to say the silver one looked not bad at all. Both in the Glasgow area, anyone on here?

Craig, I always wanted to see what a 3 door silver GTI looked like. I reckon it's bad ass.
Closest I've seen is a video (albeit poor resolution) of this 5 door. Looks good though.

The beginning of this video made me seriously consider changing to silver! But then the white one looks awesome as well!

I hadn't seen the second video before and was starting to wonder whether any other GTi's were going to be painted in Reflex and what they'd look like. I'm reassured!

Not sure how you made it as far as 2:54. I got stuck here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=QZFH6H9N_AI#t=95

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any pics of it but from a distance you could tell what it was as the black inserts on the from grille bumper were really standing out on it. The rear looked very sharp. It's not a colour I would ever have considered but seeing it in the flesh had revised my opinion
-
I saw a Reflex Silver GTI with different spec wheel than we get in the UK when I was in the Black Forest during the summer. Looked really lovely... I liekd it much more than I expected. I'm still happy with my TR choice though.
-
There is a red GTI around Glasgow too that I've seen parked up.

If it was the like the one in the video, it's the Brooklyn 17" which is the standard wheel on German spec GTIs.

Spotted another GTI in Glasgow this morning but only in red this time. Looked very nice. Glasgow is fast becoming the Mecca for GTI's. Did notice that it didn't appear to have the front sensor so it must have been a demo that had been sold. Also a female driver.
Do we have any female owners on the forum? :whistle:

Good to see we have some female representation :smiley:

Some of it is very nice. There are some great roads up here especially the further north you go.
When are you expecting your car?
-
Dealer says end October, early November, but I suspect it'll be later that that....

Wasn't me mate. Is that the one in Eaglesham?
-
Yes it is Craig
-
Yes it is Craig
I've passed through there a couple of times but not me this time. The number of GTI/GTD I've seen in and around Glasgow is quite amazing given that you would still think it would be a very rare sight
-
There is a red GTI around Glasgow too that I've seen parked up.
seen a red 1 in town a couple of times now :smiley:
-

Never been to Scotland either, and i'm 60 miles from the border. The stories of all the speed cameras on the way up put me off driving there and I get visions of it being like the "Little Britain" sketch once you are there (people on deck chairs in the pissing rain). :grin:

The m74
race track motorway is the way to go
-
Saw my first one yesterday on the M77 on my way to Ayr, it was heading up towards Glasgow?
Anyone here?
Think it was carbon but it passed to fast as we were probably both going at the speed limit in opposite directions :laugh:
-
Just spotted another red GTI on the M8 tonight and a red GTD coming out of my road of all places when I got home tonight. The guy driving out the road seemed to be enjoying himself. They're everywhere round Glasgow :grin:
-
Generally commute between north of Lincoln and Humber bank and have not seen another gti at all, I do see a white gtd most days though heading towards lincoln on the a15 in the morning and the other way in the evening, always grab a quick look in the mirror at his rear LED's :laugh: I am always in my mk5, I might get a banner telling him my wife has a mk7 gti :laugh:
-
Just been to a tesco extra in south sheilds just off the coast road and saw a white GTD. Looks beasty!! Anyone on here??
-
Merged. ;)
-
These GTD's are everywhere, 3 today. red gtd at shell garage next to redheugh bridge in Gateshead, then a silver one turning right onto Tyne bridge both at lunchtime, also another silver one on Washington highway this morning. Common as muck !!!
-
Black 3 door in Cambridge on the backs at about 1pm eith on Friday or Wednesday. My memory is a bit bad.

I've not seen any around our way yet, apart from a couple of MK6s.
Have to keep a keener eye out.

Black GTI in Germany, white GTD in France with UK plates.
Yesterday.
-
We saw a white GTi in Swansea as we were leaving the dealership on Tuesday after picking our car up - stunning car. As we joined the dual carriageway he put his foot down and disappeared into the distance! Can't wait to do that :laugh:
-
Saw a white GTI overtaking a TT on the M27 slip road the car looked awesome and just flew - it was me!!! :grin:
-
Have been at Alton Towers for the weekend & spotted a 3 door GTD in Black with 19" Santiagos parked near the Splash Landings hotel
Looked awesome, anyone on here?
Inchcape Exeter was on the sticker/reg plate i think
-
Saw 5 door GTI in white today from King's Lynn VW. Fellow Norfolk owner on here?
-
No wonder crossrail's costing us so much :grin:
Seriously though keep it in E. London because S. London turf will be all mine!
-
On my way home from work today at 17:17 I saw a Tornado Red Golf GTI driving towards Nottingham Queens Medical Centre on Derby road. Anyone on here?
The main reason i'm asking is because it looked like the exact same spec as mine and mine arrived at the dealer nearby last Thursday and if I find out the manager is taking it out for a spin I won't be impressed, lol! :grin:
-
mr savage , out of curiosty which dealer is your gti coming from ?
-
Parkway Volkswagen in Derby, why?
-
At lunchtime today, near the football stadium in Wolverhampton, a black five-door GTD with 19" wheels. Looked very nice. It was parked outside an office building, a few yards away from a Mark 6 GTD.
-
They are as rare as hen's teeth round our way. Not seen even one. I'll keep looking!

-
DBP GTI with 18's parked up in the building next to the Marriot in Cheshunt, Herts last Friday (spotted by the missus, coincidentally she had mine that day!) - said it looked good in black!
-
I think this thread is showing us how many GTI/GTD owners that are out there that are not members of this forum. I don't think any of us have spotted another forum member yet

Someone has spotted me a few times around Fawdon/Gosforth and commented on it (not in the “spotted” section though). I’m sure we make up a very small population of the MK7 GTI/GTD owners out there.

Aye that would be me. 3 separate occasions now. Saw u near asda at the metro on the weekend (i think). Other than that i've only seen one other white gtd.
-
I tell a lie. Just seen another red gtd on the A1 near catterick.
-

That one wasn't me - the Metrocentre probably was, wor lass was emptying my wallet at the Metrocentre on Sunday and I drove up by the roundabout near Asda to get down to Costco.
-
Saw a midnight blue 5 door GTD in Burnley the other day, 1st one I've seen on the road, got to say it looked absolutely stunning!!! That has now just made me want mine even quicker now!!! :laugh:
-
bah burnley! just beaten my team QPR in the championship :angry:
back on topic - still not seen a single one in the capital. Are there any owners in London? Speak up
-
I saw a CSG gti in covent garden when i was down there last week. Looked tremendous.
-
Hadn't seen any except my own.
Tornado red busby to East Kilbride road, and black in Buchanan galleries car park. Both gtis
-
Think I might have seen andyk11 's red gtd just south of dorking on the a24 on Saturday. I was riding my bike in the other direction.
-
Spotted a Red 5Dr Gti parked up in Longshaw, Orrell earlier today whilst out for a Sunday walk with the Mrs. Looked very nice, but I still love my Night Blue choice which looks fab once again after a lot of TLC yesterday :-)
-

Haha, yes good result from Burnley!!!!! :grin:
Also back to the topic, saw another GTD yesterday in Burnley, a white 5 door. Saw it coming from far away with its day running lights, looked awesome!!!
Gone from not seeing any to seeing two in 3 days!! :laugh:
-
I have yet to see another one anywhere, only mine :laugh:
-
Finally saw a GTD in the flesh today. A white 5 door parked along London Rd in Portsmouth. Wanted to just go and stare at it but thought the owner would think I was abit weird.

Ha ha, know what you mean. First time I do see one parked up, I'm gonna feel the same way. But I'm still gonna gawp at it!!! From this thread, there's been 2 spotted in Burnley, just over the hill from us, so might get to see one soon I hope. :nerd:
-
Just seen a CSG GTD driving up Denmark Hill past King's College Hospital in London. Stunning. Anyone on here?
-
My missus saw a red GTD on the A505 coming from Duxford yesterday - anyone on here?
-
Think I might have seen andyk11 's red gtd just south of dorking on the a24 on Saturday. I was riding my bike in the other direction.
If it was around 4pm that was probably me :smiley: I was heading south towards Horsham around that time with the inlaws and a pregnant missus so would have been driving quite sedately!
edit: btw when are you expecting delivery of your GTI? I live just outside Dorking and haven't seen another GTD/GTI around here yet.
-
Ive got a little while to wait, was estimated at BW 50 and ill be able to pick up any time after Christmas. I used drive the deal so will have to go and get it from JCB in kent
-
Spotted a black 5 door GTD on Wednesday at 1231 roundabout, had a little beep of the horn and an acknowledgement.
Last night in Sainsburys in Team Valley had a white 5 door GTI park up next to me too. Looked good with the Santiago's and Leather.
Don't know if either driver is on here.
-
Not a spot of a MK 7 but just something i wanted to add anyone with 54 plate Golf TFSI in Baldock area on here met it twice on journey home from work it seems to have that more extra push then my Mk7 not sure if remapped?
My GTI can keep up with it on the straights he ultimately better driver then me i still take country road corners like im driving my ford focus :grin: probably because not using manual on DSG but im in sport but it highly annoying i was expecting to definitely get quite far ahead but it keeps up with me.
Saying that i dont think whoever you are taking over line of cars going up a hill is the best thing to do i will drive fast but not stupid.

Are we taking the A505? I go past Baldock every day, can't say I've noticed any Golfs keeping up with me, hope I run into this chap (not literally :laugh:) as remap or not he ain't getting past me :evil:
I will say that Thursday night a Golf TSI wouldn't get out of my way coming up to the first Royston roundabout - was a try hard - suffice to say when he finally moved into the empty left hand lane 3rd gear was enough to put him in his place even though he was clearly ragging his engine :rolleyes:
-
Spotted a beaut today.
Just saw the back off it, and could easily see the reg and the 'GTD' badge.
Only clocked the reg quickly, and then got stuck at the lights so I couldn't get a picture.
Reg was, believe it not, '"1 VW"
Is that anyone on here?

Haha i am very surprised about this Golf seen it twice now coming from Baldock going into Cottered / Buntingford / A10 somewhere i have to turn off it got some power that why i think it remapped or some work done to it but it looks standard.
Whoever it is, is a good driver but reckless he wanted to lose me anyway he could and so he pulled out took over cars on hill which i thought was mighty dangerous as if anything coming over hill would of hit him no doubt. (it dark i know but still)
-
I know the road Bingham. If he does it every day (like I used to years ago) it's a cracking road to drive & plenty of opportunities to overtake and pick up some speed over someone even if his car is underpowered compared to yours, IF you know the road very well which he clearly does - but I certainly wouldnt drive like he is because it can be a dangerous road too. Clearly he's a bit of a nob - I'm always up for some fun but I won't take risks like he clearly was - not worth killing someone over so you're wise to not get involved! I would imagine he's just jealous because you have a shiny new GTI and he has a 54 plate sh!tter!!
-
Saw a black GTI in Hebden Bridge today, i think it had a private plate on it. First one i've seen on the road other than my own!
Does anyone on here own it?
J
-
Spotted my first glimpse of the back side of a white Mk7 Gti today …was a fair distance away… Chain Bar Roundabout off M62 at 15.50… Anyone here?
-
Spotted another GTD (this time black) crossing Putney Bridge southbound on Saturday morning at around 9:45. GTD seems to be popular in London.
-
Saw my first GTD on the roads yesterday (finally!) - black one followed me down the A1 from Letchworth at about 3.30pm and was still going down as I pulled off at Welwyn - looked great in my mirrors but even more impressive from the back as it went past - stunning motor in black I have to say.
-
Followed a white GTD in Smallfield, Surrey today.
-
Saw a White GTD in Royston, Herts tonight - looked immense, even at night!
-
Spotted a white GTD this morning on Muir Street in Hamilton. Looked like mine but only slower :grin: (only joking). Anyone on here?

Probably my wife as we are in Hamilton and have a 5 door GTD with a private plate :)
-
Was sat in "the 3 bulls heads" pub in Newcastle city centre about 5pm last night when an Oryx White GTI or GTD on Santiagos (I only got a half decent view side on and couldn't tell if it was a GTI or GTD)passed on private plates only 4 or 5 digits long. Anyone here? It looked like Oryx under artifical light in the pitch black as it passed under the Eldon Garden walkway, but couldn't be 100% sure it wasn't regular white.
-
Saw another one (or maybe the same one). At Fawdon Metro crossing (Newcastle), which is currently closed for work, there are a lot of cars parked either side and one of them was a standard white GTI or GTD with Santiagos. I couldn't see the back end to see what was going on with the exhaust as the car parked behind it was very close. I was in too much of a rush to get out of work. Anyone here?
-
BELFAST
White GTD with pano roof (looks well!), PFZ reg, parked at the Ladas Drive/Mt Merion Roundabout.
Dunno if it was the driver standing near it but someone spotted me and their jaw dropped lol

I'm often coming that way between work sites

I was probably checking your motor out too, don't see much of them. Was I wearing a suit?
I work all over NI but that's my main office. There most mornings and afternoons.

Hi all,
Spotted a white gti/gtd (I was going too fast in the opposite direction to notice!) on the a264 heading towards Crawley from Horsham last Friday morning at about 830am.
Cheers,
Phil

A white and a red GTD side by side - the white being mine :smiley:
Not seen one on road all year and go and park next to one tonight the day after getting mine, as picked up Pizza, typical! and just convinced me that white is the best colour :wink:
Only kidding looked great in red too.
-
White GTI pulling in to Asda's Lincoln, about 1pm. First one I've spotted. Made me realise how good mine must look on the road to other drivers, as that one looked the nuts! :smiley:
-
Black GTD on the M6 north about 9:45am ish yesterday, had the front fogs on as well, looked very smart and wasn't hangin around either! :whistle:
-
They are like buses. I haven't seen another gti/gtd in Brum since release. This morning around 8.40 I saw a DPB gti with 19s on holloway head (if anyone knows Brum) and a TR GtD on hagley road by five ways literally 2 mins later. I know not all owners are on here but nice to see other drivers out there.
-
After months and months of not seeing another on the roads I've seen several now in the last few weeks around Devon.
The first one I keep seeing is a white :roll eyes: (typical) 5 door and the others all seem to be company car GTDs (assuming company car drivers as they don't even bother to make eye contact).
VW must've really got going on the production of RHD ones now.
-
Well not seen it... As i was planning to take a test drive in the only one left in a garage in/near Brighton/Worthing.... Was booked to take a test drive next weekend in a GTD, and it's just been bought :) !! So i almost spotted one ;)
Not seen a GTi or GTD yet :( apart from the internet car porn variants :(
Mine should be here in early December, so mine might be the first I see! (Beautiful Mk6 White GTi round the corner from me though).
-
I saw a blue GTI today. Some 70 year old driving it.
Honestly, hated that colour. Why is that even an option on that car???
Also just a side note, not spotted recently, but when I went to France in July, I saw new MK7 Golf GTD's next to each other. One french, the other from Czech Republic.

I haven't seen any MK7 GTD/GTI's in Berkshire other than my GTD! I can't be the only one.
I have seen some guys in Crowthorne, Berks in what I think is the new Polo GTI, looks great in black with GTD style exhaust and GTI alloys and at £20K for 180BHP will be a good buy!
-
Not so much as seen a spotted car, but saw a VW transporter today.
3 GTI's and a GTD on that transporter, could be someone's on here. Saw it on the M5 near junction 9.
A red 3dr GTI with what looked to be a Pan Roof
A Silver 5DR GTI
A White 3DR GTI
And a Silver 5DR GTD.
-
I saw a very slow looking red 5 door GTD (63 plate) on Bridge Street, Manchester at about 5.15pm today. OK. It was parked...... :grin:
-
Just spied a red 63 plate GTI at the Holiday express roundabout in Hamilton 8.30 this morning. Looked the nuts!
-
Honestly, hated that colour. Why is that even an option on that car???
Each to their own!

No very true. Very much my opinion. I guess if you don't want a big shouty colour, it's suits the bill.
Just looked at it again. Sorry, not for me.

Hey Phil. I'm very happy with my choice of colour thank you, although carbon grey was a close shout. I wouldn't ever have chosen a GTD. Only playing.... :smiley:

Ha. As I said, it's just not for me. But that being said, I'm a big fan of the Viper Green Scirocco. When I come to trade in my GTD, the new Rocco's should be out and I'll get one. If they've dropped that colour, there will be trouble. Unless they introduce a nice orange. :grin:
But no, just my opinion, it's not gospel.

Spotted a very lovely Dark Gray GTD going from Worthing Town Centre through up to the A27, heading off towards Chichester :)
(http://i.imgur.com/4oYV8GG.png)
From Caffyns by the look of it, so may have been their last one! :)

Think I've seen that one too... It's a 13 plate though so must be an early one as we're on 63 now....
-
SPOTTED a red GTD last night around 6pm-7pm heading eastbound on the M56 then turned onto the M6 northbound. If you are on here, sorry for being up your backside in my big silver van on the M56 as i was just admiring it :whistle:, looked absolutely stunning and those rear LEDs look the bomb at night!!! ...And when you put you foot down, bye bye gone :laugh:
-
Saw my car’s twin on the coast road (A1058) heading from Newcastle to the coast, around Cradlewell at approx. 8:45pm last night – 5 door Tornado Red 63 plate GTD. Don’t think it was anyone’s here, was being driven like a nun by quite an old looking fella.
-
Spotted this at Glasgow Fort tonight, anyone's?

Just spotted another Dark Gray GTD on the A27 just leaving Worthing (West Sussex) heading towards Arundel/Chichester way :) - Number plate started with D8 or B8 i think?
Lovely looking car, good colour :)
-
White gtd on A530 between Crewe and Nantwich today at about 10-15 am
I was in the white GTI going the other way :smiley:

Some lucky person collecting their brand new blue GTI in Hayward Heath at the dealers this morning. Also a red GTD waiting for a PDI.
-

-
Spotted a White GTI earlier this week in Burslem Stoke on Trent, looked great, first GTI I've seen since I've had my own.
Then Yesterday I saw a very nice black 63 Plate GTD on Waterworld Car Park in Stoke, had a nice admiring stare before going back to my car :smiley:
-
Spotted another GTD (Dark Blue) Up near Horsham over the weekend :)
Good colour, wasn't one of my choices, but looked great, much better in the flesh so to speak :)
-
Had my GTi for 5 weeks now and not seen another one in my area, actually not even seen another MK7 of any type except at the dealers
-
Just recently started to see a few, ever since mine went and i'm driving the SE.. :'(
-
I'm surprised you haven't seen mine Jimble i've been driving around Birmingham a few times over the last couple of weeks! :D
-
Am I the only one around the Cov/Leam/Warwick area? Haven't spotted any around here yet... :whistle:
-
Saw a white mk7 Gti driving up Queens Road in Sheffield this afternoon.
Think this is the 1st one I have seen on the road.

-
Saw a white GTD in Dalkeith the otherside of the big roundabout by Dobies garden world.
Was too far away to do the secret GTI/GTD gesture / nipple flash.
-
Oh Noes, there's a secret gesture and nipple flash!!!! Is this taught by the dealer? (I wish, she is beautiful, but the delivery guy most likely will not be my cup of tea!)
-
What the heck is this secret GTi/GTD gesture and nipple flash thing eh? How 'bout we stick to flashing lights?! It's alright for you blokes, but us ladies can't be doing all that stuff!!@!! :grin:

-
God forbid a MK7 Gti / GTD Meetup it would be
an orgy a mess of nipples and secret gestures, like a rather sexual sign language convention with nice cars.... :| :whistle:
-
did i come into this thread at the wrong time? nipple what?
-
did i come into this thread at the wrong time? nipple what?
We were just discussing a Yorkshire meet lol

Has anyone spotted Benfield out gallavanting in my TR GTD today while it has been “getting fixed”? :huh:
-
:grin: ….Because you don't want to be distracted whilst driving you new pride & joy do ya? :grin:
Plus it's too blooming cold!! :smiley:
-
If there's nipple flashing (by females) can I tag along in my mk6 please?
-
too late, they both disagreed with the new greeting :( .... Looks like a generic bumflash will have to do (Passengers obviously) :)
-
They always spoil everything! :grin:

Currently in Wales on a wee trip & while driving about randomly spotted this & couldn't resist a side by side photo :laugh:

This was near Abergele, 5dr GTD Reg ends GEJ anyone on here? This is the second GTD I've seen since being down here
-
Spotted a silver GTD on the way to work (M2 Belfast bound) this morning. I beeped my horn on the way past!
-
spotted a white GTI and a red GTI on the A1 passing along side holy island on saturday. only saw one before getting the car, saw 2 in one day after getting it :grin:

Yeah I'm quite a distance from Hertfordshire haha
-
Saw a gleaming TR GTI parking up outside Meadowbank stadium. I was passing in the other direction. Flashed my headlights. The lady driver yawned then looked the other way. I guess once you've had nipple a mere headlight will not do.
-
Spotted Drk Blue GTD on A59 outside Harrogate about 1pmish today. Very nice it was too.
-
Saw a white 63 plate GTD on the coast road on the way home from the Newcastle match about 7:40pm. Driven very lawfully, so I whizzed past as soon as the Speed cameras were behind us.
-
63 plate white 3dr gti turning on to talbot road just before 7am today.. Looked :cool:
-
After months and months of not seeing another on the roads I've seen several now in the last few weeks around Devon.
The first one I keep seeing is a white :roll eyes: (typical) 5 door and the others all seem to be company car GTDs (assuming company car drivers as they don't even bother to make eye contact).
VW must've really got going on the production of RHD ones now.
Where do you see the white 5 door in Exeter? I bought a 5 door White GTI from Exeter dealer and have been in Exeter on many occasions since I picked it up mid October?
I haven't seen any other GTI's yet myself.
-
5dr GTD Carbon Grey this morning, private plate, A1 south between Stamford & Peterborough.....looked fantastic!!! Really pleased I've gone for this colour - will have my very own in 48 hours :laugh:
-
Black GTD on a 63 plate crawling in rush hour traffic on the M60 near Urmston, Manchester at about 5.40pm today. If the owner is on here then hello ! :smiley:
-
Saw a great looking carbon grey 5 door Gti,parked up in the posher suburbs of Sheffield today.

Near Pynes Hill normally, between there and Middlemoor, a lady driving it most times I've seen it.
Also saw a white 5 door with a Pano roof from the distance recently
-
Neither are car. The last I check I had not had any Trans-gender operations. If you were to see my car it would be around Alphington goinging between Exeter City Centre and the A30.
Good to see other GTi's are appearing the local area. Although I still have not physically seen another GTI yet.

Wrong end of the city for me!
I've seen quite a few GTI's and GTD's now locally.
-
Apologies to my twin in GTI form that I totally smoked off today on the M2 in Belfast. Go on the GTD'ers!!!
-
Just saw a lovely Drak Gray GTI driving along the A27 towards Arundel :)
The misses had her first outing, so was a bit slow at over-taking... :P
-
Saw a white GTD on the A1 going northbound past Stevenage on Friday, driving at 60 mph by some old gran :rolleyes:
Then saw my first GTI last night - around the corner from my house (boo, I like being exclusive) in white - looked the nuts to be fair, was being driven by an older gent (mid 50's I reckon) with the standard wheels.

Now you mention it, more often than not when I've seen one it's been driven by the more mature individual shall we say :grin:. Giving us young drivers :rolleyes: a bad name :smiley:

Saw a white GTD on Seafield Rd this afternoon. Passing by in the opposite direction. I flashed my headlights.
One day. I will get acknowledged.
-
Apologies to my twin in GTI form that I totally smoked off today on the M2 in Belfast. Go on the GTD'ers!!!
LOL you know my GTD has really come to life since I changed how I drive it. It urges you to drive it like a petrol car and it flies! The M2 has also become my playground!
-
Saw my first GTD mk.7 on the road today - Carbon Grey 5-door in Harlow, Essex!

Same here - sports mode and rev it!
Glenshane is my playground. I reckon you could easily do 130mph going up it if you tried with a clear road, not that I'd ever do that - I'm always legal of course, dare to think what you could do heading down it!
-

Yep - got to punish it a little - keep it between 2100 and 4000rpm when you want to shift, as opposed to the 1700 to 3300 optimum range of previous TDIs. Haven't seen any worse mpg for treating it a bit meaner.
-
Yeah Glenshane pass would be lethal downhill, and just showing off uphill!
The rev range does like to sit higher, I think that's just the nature of the car. Does comfort or normal work in a different rev range? Is it possible?
I prefer driving on the edge though, the lag is zero sitting @ 3k revs and the car just pops. (I truly forget I am driving an oil burner)!

Not sure - I'm a DSG'er and meant gearbox in sport mode or using paddles - DCC (or whatever its called) is left in sport 24/7!

Well, I am on the M2 from Antrim to the odyssey exit every Monday - Friday from 8am > 8.30.
Always keeping my eye out, still not a lot of MK7 GTI / GTD's about, so easy to spot.

See you boys around South Belfast if you're in the neighbourhood - red GTI PP
-
I've found what you guys have said to be very true, you need to rev the GTD to get the performance out of it. Once you do, the performance is totally awesome (The car is awesome in every way anyway!!).
Haven't seen any of you NI guys around, but working in Newtownards, I don't really get the chance to. Followed a GTD home one night to Ards, and realised it was the demonstrator I drove at Agnews. Also, one of the salesmen from Agnews Boucher drives a red GTI and I've spotted it a few times around the Ards Peninsula area. Other than that, the GTD/GTI is pretty rare :cool:
-
See you boys around South Belfast if you're in the neighbourhood - red GTI PP
You'll see me floating about there quite a lot.
Only on the M2 at random times through the week/weekends.
Have seen the Red GTI parked up at Agnews Boucher for the past couple of weeks on passing on way to work
-
Spotted a red GTi on the A1 South Bound just after junction 49 this morning at around 08:50 this morning! I was heading North in my CSD GTi.
-
itshimself I'm going to have to keep an out for you I'm around South Belfast daily.
-
Whoa where are all you guys hiding, I must be sleeping, have only seen one MK7 GTD and no GTIs on the road in NI.
I'm usually on the A1/M1 Hillhall Road around 7.30/16:30 in my ageing red MK6 :grin:
-
Do surely, I'm one of the few (maybe the only) Performance Pack(s) I've seen on the roads locally... Love those big brake pads!
-
I have only seen one White gti/gtd (wasnt sure as I only got a quick glimpse of the 19's) in South Tyneside..saw it in ASDA car park in south shields earlier this week

Now if you were hanging around the M1 / M2 / M5 area you might see a few alright!
-
Well it seems GTD's are like buses! Had mine since 17/10/2013 & not seen another one on the road, then today 2 within the space of half an hour!!
Saw a red GTD in my rear view mirror as I was turning offon the M74 (Junc 5 Raith interchange - Heading South) at about 12.45pm today, looked amazing. Then a black one in the Frankie & Benny's car park at Kingsgate East Kilbride at 1.10pm
Anyone on here?
-
Spotted a lovely white GTD on Argyll Street tonight about 8.15pm. Looked like it had the Santiagos on which were very nice. Private reg beginning Y9 I think. Anyone on here?

Spotted last week, THE Milltek Mk7 GTI :D Had Milltek Decals down the side in night blue with a personalised plate of something like MI11TEK. I let you out the Shell Garage in Awsworth near Eastwood in the Midlands. Yes it's the same car that's on Milltek's website.
Pretty cool huh? :tongue:

A white 3 Door GTI last Tuesday on the M5 southbound somewhere between Bristol and Taunton at about 09:00...
You were in a bit of a hurry, it appears... :smiley: and by the way with SPECS cameras, they measure your average speed, so its no good getting the hammer down between the cameras and braking heavily on the approach the the next one :tongue: :lipsrsealed:
I notice they've suspended the cameras on that stretch... I guess for the holidays...

Today I saw a white Golf R 5-door (quite dirty) outside the VW dealership in Davos, Switzerland. When I pointed it out to my mate he said "so what?". He drives a Vectra though, so that was only to be expected :grin:
When I went back to take photos it had gone :cry:
I really liked the look of those silver door mirrors :tongue:
-
Just spied a 63 red GTD on the Edinburgh bypass SL63 reg. :smiley:
-
Saw a Red 63 plate GTD in Uckfield this morning then a very smart looking Mk4 R32
-
I haven't seen one GTI on my travels but have seen a couple of Gtd's though. Every morning when i go on the M1 I see plenty of transporters traveling southbound with every Volkswagen under the sun on board except Gti's :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I'll look out for all you Leicestershire guys too, mines an easy spot missing the right wing GTI badge , missed op at the factory. :undecided:
-
Drove all the way from London west down the M4 today and back and saw over 100 VW cars easily
Was keeping an eye out every time I saw a VW hatch but no GTD/GTIs :sad:
Seems the south haven't invested as heavily as the midlands/north from these threads!
I have to say though most of the drivers I spotted in these cars were old enough to have been in the 2nd world war!! :grin:
-
I drove up to Liverpool from Sheerness on Friday and back today and didn't spot a single GTI or GTD. I expected to see way more.
-
I've only ever seen 3 ever, white one in Cheadle, black one in the Trafford centre, and a red one in whythenshawe. I was trying to catch the red one up but a bus got in the way.
-
Saw my first MK7 GTI in black yesterday in Crowthorne just up the road from where i live, after seeing none for months driving around the country!!
-
Graphite Grey Gti parked up at Meadowhall today.

Saw what looked like carbon grey driving around Sheffield today but not at Meadowhall - waved and got a wave back when in my black PP but not sure if they are a member...
-
Spotted a red GTI/D (hard to tell with red as it loses the red stripe on a GTI) heading west bound on the A30 between Perranporth and Truro turnoffs yesterday. Probably not a forum member but the only mk7 GTI/D I've seen that far down so far.
-
It's suddenly like buses ! I saw a Carbon Grey GTD at The Stag traffic lights in Orrell yesterday lunchtime. And on my way into work this morning I saw a GTi (again I think Carbon Grey but it was dark and raining so not 100% sure) on the M602 coming into Manchester. It's only the second GTi I have seen on the road, other than mine ! It was wearing a set of Santiago wheels and looked very nice ... :smiley:
-
Saw a gorgeous black GTi this morning, 1st mk7 I've seen since the day we picked up our gtd in October :cool:
(Don't think the owner is on here but just in case you are, spotted you in Trostre, Llanelli)
-
Tonight at around 19.50 0n Queensferry Rd going in to Edinburgh a red GTD behind me. You would have recognised my reg number matched my silver mk6 GTD?

Saw my first gti on the roads of greater London today. Heading south from Farnborough common/bromley down in the direction of croydon. We were both crawling in traffic opposing directions I rolled down window to pass on my compliments but the traffic queue moved leaving the gti driver looking rather bemused and worried as if I was gearing up to hurl something at him.
Pure white gti on Austins no pano roof. Think it was LF63 plate. Anyone on here?

Remember they are probably thinking the opposite and wishing they had chosen white. It happens to me all the time, you see red and you wish you had went for it, you see black and you wish you had that etc etc.

Hi all,
The other morning I saw a red 5 door heading out of Horsham towards Broadbridge Heath, I have a feeling it was the ex demo model that Crawley VW were running last summer. Also yesterday a white 3 door followed me down the Balcombe road out of Horley into manor royal in Crawley, the white looked the mutts nuts...made me think I should have had white!
Cheers,
Phil

It should be on Austin's.Santiago wheels are the option but much cheaper than here for the set, probably because people want a chance to survive a pot hole...

Carbon Grey GTD (63 plate) in Ware High Street (Herts) - I was paying very close attention as its the nearest car I have seen to my order (OK mines a 3-door but close). Fortunately for me the traffic was very slow moving so lots of time to oggle!

Spotted in Cape Town airport multi storey car park as soon as I arrived :) 8)

Good spot on the mirror :)

Saw an identical TR 5DR GTD in Silverlink car park yesterday, but the missus saw it first.
I parked up near M&S while she popped in to get a click and collect order. When she came back out, she saw the other GTD 2 rows up from mine (but almost as far up it's row as I was up mine) and stood next to it, thinking it was mine and wondering where i'd nipped off to. After 3 mins of waiting she noticed the number plate was 2 letters out from mine on the last 3 letters and then went looking for me. :grin:
-
GTI 5 Dr, 63 plate on the M53 by Vauxhall's.... Think it was Tungsten Grey? 740am. Looks really nice in that colour.

I'm cheating a bit here. My car was the GTi spotted, by a young man in a black MK6 GTi (I think, only saw the back of it. Sorry, I've not been a VW person pre-Mk7's, so don't know my 6 & 5's that well. Shame on me, must work harder) …. I spotted him taking a quick snap of mine returning from a walk round Ogden Water. Should have come over & had a chat…. I'd have told you to buy one immediately as it's soooooooooooooooo good. :grin:
-
Red GTI this morning on Musselburgh bypass heading away from Edinburgh. They're all over the place...
-
Saw 2 GTD's in the Newtownards area over the past few days. A Carbon grey one RFZ registration and another white GTD, XLZ registration.
-
2 spots today....
Around 2pm Silver GTD at stranmillis roundabout Belfast. Silver looks the dogs b*****ks in the flesh (kind of delorean like lol).
Around 3.30 Red GTD going through KFC boucher drive through (think this is the same one I keep seeing at Agnews boucher so maybe a dealer car).
-
It must be GTD day! Just spotted another 3 door red one exiting the petrol station on the Donaghadee Rd, Newtownards, RXI ??? registration. The GTI seems to be rare as hen's teeth over here in NI. Maybe we're all too tight to pay for petrol :grin:

Hello to the guy on the A404 Sliproad to Marlow - (RV14 ***) that's the first "R" I've seen in the flesh and it's a lovely colour! (I was in the rather dirty CSG GTi).
-

Golf R, dark blue? Unfortunately spotted today at Paisley Crematorium.
First one I've seen in the flesh. Very plain looking from the front and I nearly never gave it a second glance, but very aggressive from the rear.
Would have waited to speak to the owner but didn't think it was the right time just after the service! :sad:
-
Blue R heading north on A14/A1 think it was A1 after it merges on I was in CSG heading south..R did look good tho..

63 plate 5dr Tornado Red GTI in Sainsburys car park in Burton on Trent?? The sun was out and was shining brightly on that lovely red arse!
... On a side note, with the sun shining on the rear it made the light clusters look more smoked/tinted. Are the gti/d rear clusters the same tint?

Last digits of the reg were CJG I think?
-
White 5dr GTD came down the slip road south bound at Scotch Corner. Had mud flaps front and rear and a private plate. Don't think he realised we were in an average speed camera zone so when he took off he'll probably be getting a ticker in the post.

black 14 plate gti coming out a automatic car wash in Tewkesbury a few days ago
There's a lot of owners out there who just don't take any pride in their motors unfortunately. A brand new car in an automatic car wash is sacrilege
-
They are like buses. I don't see any for months then 2 appear at the same time :grin:
Saturday a white GTI xx JYS parked at Dumbreck obviously going to the Rangers game. As I was walking past that a Carbon 3dr passed driven by an elderly lady.

Saw my first R today in lapiz blue with pano roof driving towards me (looked cracking) with a limestone GTD in front of me on the Ferry Road coming in to Blackhall, Edinburgh. I know its eaach to their own but L.G really not my cup of tea Lad in GTD was trying to race me to which i found amusing considering i have the same engine it would have been a boring race until my DTUK box whooped his ass :grin:
-
VirginVWman: Was it a huge difference from GTD to DTUK GTD? Had a Mini SD (140ps, I believe) try their luck 3 times to get past me on the A19 this morning before finally managing it when I slowed to take a sliproad off and they were staying on. There wasn't as big a gap between us in from 20 to 50 as i'd have thought there would be, but as soon as I hit 3rd (and presumably they did too, on an uphill stretch), it was like they'd stood still, until I eased off and let them catch me up (three times, just for fun, once after having to slow for a wagon overtaking the other).

There was a fair bit actually. I noticed it more in 4th gear coming across the Forth Rd bridge where it turns from a strict 50mph to a supposed lenient 50 mph zone where people sit at well...70+ lol. He booted it in what i expect was 4th and so did I, he must have been shocked when i was up his arse from about 3 car lengths away initially then having to tap the breaks before i was on top of him. Very very tempted to try 4+2 to up the severity of the acceleration in the lower gears.
Ha love toying with others. Guy in one of those sporty looking smart cars up my arse trying to get past me in a 30 coming up to a 60. Sat at 33mph in 3rd (pretty much right at where the car flys at 2,300 revs) until i hit the 60 and booted it. I win...you fail ha :grin:
-
Shiney black GTD in Harlow, Essex at 6.20 this evening!
-
2014 red GTD checking me out side on in mine with a black R no more than 10 seconds up the road. Love the look of the r but it doesnt stand out that much hence why id have the lapiz blue to differentiate it from the GTD and GTI.
-
DPB R outside WBA ground.
-
Black GTI - first I have seen around here - A509 near Wollaston/Bozeat around 9am today

Night blue 14 plate GTD on barbra castle way in blackburn. cant wait for mine

In good light it does look really great and I'm very happy with my choice but in poor light I find it a bit dull and boring and then I'm less happy. However after all the recent rain mine currently looks a dirty shade of grey/brown, my previous CSG coped with the weather better :wink:
-
I enjoyed following an identical to mine CSG GTD this morning (10ish) down the M4 from Swindon to Bristol, we both acknowledged each other and waved when we parted, as one does :wink:
-
Haven't seen a GTI for months - and then passed one through Welwyn village in Hertfordshire tonight - DBP, looked the nuts, especially in the sun. Gave each other a wave, very cool :smiley: - reminded me of the days when I had an Alfa and that was the done thing!
-
Lovely Night Blue 3-Door GTD (14' reg) on the slip road between the M6 and M56 just after the Thelwall Wednesday evening approx. 5.45pm. I was right behind in a new Range Rover Autobiography and the car looked stunning!
In other news, my GTI has been commandeered by my wife who simply loves driving it! I haven't been behind the wheel in over a week! :cry:
-
Spotted a couple of TR GTDs today. One on the a19 and one on the a689 around 4PM. Don't think it was anyone on here but worth a punt. Both on 14 plates.

Not on a curb, but the photo was taken in an empty part of a car park where there was quite a gradient.

2 X Tornado Red GTDs heading southbound on the A1 (NI) between Banbridge & Newry about 2 mins apart just before 2pm. One had a private plate
-
Onyx white r 3 door debenhams bull ring car park. Now I'm thinking the next car will it be an r or a gti.
-
White GTD on the dual carriageway to gowerton followed by a white GTI near Swansea asda. I waved at both but didn't get anything back, although the blonde lady in the GTI looked pre-occupied with some roundabout fun with an Audi A4.
-
Black 3 door GTI by Kassam tonight in Oxford, hoping you weren't a Bristol fan :)
-
tornado red GTD 5dr on Hawkins lane in Burton on Trent. I was leaving work in my Tornado red GTD. You gave me the nod. Followed you right onto A38..... Anyone?
-
PW GTD going northbound on the A1 past Stevenage yesterday evening - some old gran driving it, didn't respond to me giving her a wave :grin:
-
Drove past the local VW dealer yesterday evening and they had a 5 door Pure White mk7 R sitting amongst their demonstrators. This was the first one I'd seen in the flesh, so stopped and had a look.
Really liked it - looked much better in the flesh than in pictures. The larger 19" wheels looked great with the white paintwork!
-
Black GTI along A257 towards Canterbury around 9am. Very shiny.
-
Spotted another 3-Door TR GTI at the Shell Petrol Station in Skelmersale last night. 19" wheels with the PP. Private plate looked to spell 'Reilly' so I could have been RE11 LLY.
Needed a wash! :grin:
-
Spotted a white 5 door pure white GTD in Newtownards at lunchtime Reg PFZ. Anyone off here? :smiley:
-
Lapiz blue 'R' coming out of Drakehouse retail park in Sheffield about 4.30pm today. It was followed by a white 11 plate Scirocco out of the retail park and I was behind the rocco.
The guy in the 'R' squeezed the throttle a little, the rocco tried to keep up but it was no good, he was gone.
Must say the 'R' looks much better in the flesh than in all the pictures/videos I've looked at :laugh:
-
White R 5 door tyne bridge Newcastle 5:00pm Wed 18th June
Light Blue R Wickham Tyne and wear 5:15pm Wed 18th June.

Spotted a white 5 door pure white GTD in Newtownards at lunchtime Reg PFZ. Anyone off here? :smiley:
Most likely me as I am all over the show with my job. Although there are a few PFZs knocking about. Was it with a Pano roof?
The GTD's are becoming more common now, but they still turn heads! I just got my one back from the repair shop after 3 longs days, damn I missed it! :-) (The Polo TDI did the job though).

It was definitely white and the driver like me was OCD at parking it in the slightly slanted parking spaces! You're right, plenty of GTD's in NI, but GTI's are as rare as hen's teeth!! :)
What was wrong with your GTD that it was in for repair?

Just walked past her yesterday and looking as good as new :cool:

Followed a TR GTD all the way up the A1 to Letchworth last Thursday, looked awesome. Then he tried to nail it to "get away" from me, suffice to say he didn't :rolleyes:

An Asda lorry wanted in my lane regardless of me being there. Nothing too major thankfully! New rear bumper which is nice!

They did a good job. Wanted to make sure it was done right. You certainly miss the car, others don't compare.

One day monsta our cars may cross. What days are you in canterbury? I've changed working hours and will be on the road earlier so I'll keep my eyes open.
-
Saw a very nice blue R passing through Moxley on the 7th July about six.
-
Carbon grey GTD just after 2pm. Followed you up St Stephen's Hill, then you turned off at Kent University. Lovely elegant looking car, though this was slightly spoilt by the cheapo air freshener dangling from the rear view mirror :grin:

I'm in Canterbury on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday usually but arriving around 9am and leaving at 6pm ish. Parked up in Whitefriars all day long mostly!
-
Red GTi around the Great Yarmouth area. Pretty sure it a PP from the calipers. On 18" wheels
-
Snap! Black GTD 63 reg, matching mine M1 north on Thursday evening around 6, went past you after the M6 junction before you overtook me again and we were in convoy for a bit before a white Scirocco got in the way
-
These GTDs are getting far too common for my liking now.
Today on A19 northbound no word of a lie I led a Red GTD and immediately behind that was a Blue GTD. Both 14 plates and 5 doors, anyone on here?
-
Loads of GTDs around Durham and Newcastle areas, Quite a few Rs too, Not that many GTIs though.
On my way to work I normally see 2x black, 2x red GTDs, 2x light blue Rs and a dark blue R.
-
63 plate 5 door GTD with silver mirror caps in Asda car park in Dunfermline
-
Beautiful blue R at Toddington services yesterday (Monday 14th July) at about 6 ish, with a private plate that started with an R and had VWW at the end....
Simply stunning!
-
Regularly see 2/3 different GTD's per day on the way to/from work, and have seen 2 R's in the last week. But only 2 GTI's in the year since they've been out.
The GTD is expected to be more common I guess, but am surprised at the R as you don't tend to see cars like that around my way very often. GTI could become fairly rare if people aren't bothering with it and going straight for the R??
-
Maybe price has a lot to do with it.
I've just specced up a GTI against an R and the R is considerably cheaper over the shorter periods.
I also flung in the GTD just for a full comparison.

When you simply take into account the OTR price, the R does look terrific value for money against the GTI/GTD. For an extra £3.5k your getting 300bhp, 4wd, dual DRl's and quad pipes. Why oh why did i not wait an extra 6 months :cry: :cry:
-
Craig that might be an on the road price but you are actually cheaper over the term buying the car on a pcp.
The R for example would cost you £1700 less than a GTI over 24months. That should cover the lousy MPG and more.
-

That's amazing pal. In hindsight if I had known that the price differential was going to be so marginal I would without hesitation have waited for the R. I've never really fancied going down the PCP route but when you look at the figures I would have seriously considered it this time round.
The funny thing is when I come to trade in my GTI in a few years I don't know if I would consider the R. There are a few other things that have caught my attention such as the M235i and new TT. I love the new cayman but way out of my budget so would have to be a pre owned one.

Yeah it's definitely part price related. I actually ordered an R end of May, but changed to a GTI as I've been offered a new job with more travelling. The R was cheaper over 4 years, although I believe the GFV's have now been changed due to the leasing fiasco.
Having seen 2 R's in the flesh, must say I prefer the looks of the GTI. The R is a little too understated for me, although every other aspect is pretty amazing performance wise.
-
Spotted nice clean sparkling black 14 plate GTD in Hathersage (peak district) on Saturday and again on Sunday
-

Yeah that is what I thought but those figures were taken direct from VWs site this morning. The previous figures must have been even more appealing.

Ross Detours I take it it was you with that number plate!?

Didn't see you mate but yeah that would have been me on the way home from work! Just put the plate on half an hour before that actually so glad to know it gets noticed! haha
-
I was going in the opposite direction so just approaching the roundabout so my concentration was focused on that but just spotted it out the corner of my eye. You had just left the roundabout from the M77.

Immaculate super shiny blue GTI spotted on the M25 going clockwise somewhere after the M23 turnoff yesterday, on a private place beginning 'X'

Spotted an R going down Derby Road in Burton tonight about 21:15, then straight after spotted a Grey GTD heading towards Perrelli roundabout at the same time...?
-
Spotted - a brand shiny new PW GTD in my work car park (Identical to my 3 plate one!) - One of my mates & colleagues has taken the plunge, with another following shortly after!
Also, another PW 14 plate GTD spotted this morning on the A27 @ Worthing.
And... Last week a whole heap spotted down in Devon whilst on holiday! :)- beautiful R down near Dawlish :)
-
TR GTD 3dr parked at Murlough bay Newcastle Co Down this evening around 8pm.

I park in a shared works car park, and recently I've seen a OW, and TR GTI, and a OW GTD. I eventually went to say hello and it turns out that the local VW dealership use that carpark. They are pool cars for VW employees!
Not bad, beats getting the bus.

Black Golf R coming out of Royston, Herts this morning (followed him for ages) and then down the A505 southbound. Looked awesome from the back (those quads are superb) and the double DRL's look immense from the front. Went to give him the thumbs up as I overtook him but he wasn't interested - boo :rolleyes:
Also, the missus saw a Cadiz Blue Golf R over the weeekend and said its visually stunning in that colour, and much better than in the pics. I want :evil:
-
I have seen a few R's now round my way and they do look smart but what i would say is when you see one in lapis blue then you know for certain its an R, when you see one in black, if its coming towards you then they can be difficult to spot. From behind obviously the quad pipes give it away.
The other problem is the quality of the paintwork. Lapis blue and black would be my first two choices but the paint swirls would frustrate the hell out of me
-
Spotted an R going down Derby Road in Burton tonight about 21:15, then straight after spotted a Grey GTD heading towards Perrelli roundabout at the same time...?
Ive sure i've seen you a few times, going towards Burton Football ground past the shell garage. Not seen an R or a grey in burton but there is a white gtd and i tell a lie ive seen a bird driving an R once but cant remember the colour.

Saw that one on Friday morning as I was coming into Royston. Sounds like our journeys cross. I'm in a 3-door CG GTD.
Also a red GTD near Sutton, Beds on Friday evening. Private plate and lots of waving.

Which of the breweries? I have worked for both at some point in time, one before it was taken over by the lot down in the west midlands and the other in 2011 as they implemented SAP...
Now I am working for another business that was associated with Bass back in the day but makes soft drinks instead

I saw two dozen or so GTDs in France, Holland and Germany recently. Most seemed to be company vehicles.
Not a single GTI.

Tungsten R on the Ferry Rd Edinburgh. Almost missed it...dont feel...and this is my opinion so no pelters please....but I felt it had no road presence. Just looked like a bog standard car in that colour where as the blue/red/black stands out and looks more agressive. Just not my cup of tea but each to their own

I know what you mean. I passed a Limestone R on Canning St in Edinburgh the other day and almost missed it. The front of the R is just too subtle for my liking - if I was going for an R (which I sort of wish I was, but couldn't justify the extra cost) it would definitely need to be in Lapiz blue to set it apart from GT and Bluemotion Golfs.

Lovely Black GTD 3 Dr. on the M53 this morning with what looked like Santiago's. You passed me by the Vauxhall plant (i was in the White Mk6 GTD). Nicest one of seen. :cool:
-
Very nice sparking red GTD number plate C1 *** spotted near Howden reservoir in the high peaks on Wednesday anybody on here?
-
A very grubby lapis blue 5 door R in Comely Bank, Edinburgh. Almost missed it. Looked like hed been rallying it as the blue looked so god damn dull. Also spotted my first Leon Cupra 280...just not a fan of it, preferred the old shape
-
I was in front of a lovely night blue R a few days ago. I would never have considered that colour but seeing it in the flesh has changed my mind
-
Spotted very nice clean white GTD reg number FE63 *** last Tuesday near the visitors centre by the Howden dam Bamford Hope valley- always wanted my GTD to be white but daughter and wife came with me when i went to the dealer in MK to order and they both said NO WAY so as you can see i was out numbered :sad:
Just think the white with the black pan roof looks amazing :sick:
Still love the one i drive T S M with the pan roof also looks lovely :smiley:
-
Shiny clean 14 plate DBP R on the A505 yesterday - who promptly got out of the way for me and then proceeded to drive at 60 mph - I would be very disappointed if that's anyone on here :laugh:

Just spotted a 14 plate white R in Glasgow City centre which had Revo in silver letters on the back. Very distinctive.
-
Yesterday in Tesco car park Petersfield very clean white 3 door GTI 63 plate.

A shiny DBP r on 19s in the stick and wicket car park in aldridge yesterday afternoon
-
A black R ( xxxx EBO) in Ikea Braehead straddled over 2 spaces. I was the one that joined you in straddling 2 spaces in the white GTD :grin:
-
Wow a lot of Rs popping up! Slightly jealous but at the same time I'd be :sick: :sick: :sick: if I was seeing them all over. I've been seeing some GTIs recently too to be fair, whereas there were barely any prior to 64 plates.
Maybe a sign of the times that hot Golfs aren't as exclusive as days of old? :undecided:
-
I saw several nice GTD's yesterday whilst on my travels up to Stockton/Gateshead. A lovely Limestone (I think, could have been Tungsten) GTD in Stockton, then a really nice DBP 5-Door on the A66 heading back over to the west.
I was in the TR 3-Door GTI with the taped on Offside Mirror... :angry:
-

No pal, it was around 3.30-4pm I think. If it was you it was being driven very nicely with proper indicating when overtaking and decent gaps left! Makes a nice change!

Black R in Hitchin this morning. Filthy but still looked the nuts!
-
White gti in busby, wrapped in police incident tape!!!!
Saw that too... not good! I also believe I parked next to you heading into the Nuffield gym the other morning Dirvy? Clocked the reg.

Yeah just saw you out corner of my eye when leaving.
Barrier on other side of road very bent too.

VW dealers will have to build multi storey car park style sales areas in two years when they have three million ex-lease red R's to dispose of!!!
On topic, one mean looking black GTD, one red GTI that was nearly as dirty as mine and three white GTD's spotted near J29 M5 this afternoon/evening. No R's about today!
-
You know what I've not seen a single one of which is pretty surprising given the price, a cupra. Probably seen more R's now than GTIs, quite a few gtds and shed loads of FRs since they pathetically watered down its meaning to sell more numbers.
But, not a single Leon Cupra at all.

I don't think they're coming through very quickly, it seems the supply is as bad as the GTI was last year. Looking on SCN there are plenty ordered by few actually delivered yet…
Mind you, if you can get an R for buttons the poor upstaged Cupra just ain't going to make the big time!

Well they can take as long as like, being done by a cupra will probably push me to stage 3 lol so let them take their time!

White R on Durham Road near the Angel of the North Gateshead at 4.10pm today. I was travelling in the opposite direction.
BTW I travelled over 300 miles today skirting the M1, M62 and A1. I only saw 1 R, 1 GTI and 3 GTDs but 4 Leon Rs. All of this talk on these threads about Rs flooding the market is daft.

I've never seen another R on the roads yet that wasn't one of Benfield's - not even yours 4 miles away from me.

Seen a Lapis Blue R the other morning driving to work in Sunderland and also numerous gtis and a couple of gtds. Common as muck now!!
-
After seeing only a few R's since they've been out, pulled into a Shell petrol station on the A505 today and there were 2 sitting there! One in DBP (was filthy!) and one in Reflex Silver - silver looked great with the Prets on it. Lease cars coming through?! :laugh:

Red pp gti fe14 m** being driven by a total p4ick which then pulls up at my daughters school. Two small children in! Total wan4er!!
-
Wonder if he's a member on here?? :huh:
-
I hope not as he is already giving golf gti drivers a bad name.

Lapiz Blue R going northbound on the A1 - seen him the last 2 days going the other way to me between Stevenage and Letchworth - very clean (quite a feat in this weather!) and looked the nuts!

No, cause my car is filthy at the moment! Maybe it was me projecting what I'd like my car to look like :grin:

White R on the A38 to Derby yesterday evening. Had a good natured blast with it for about 7/8 miles and acknowledged me as he turned off which is always nice.
Such a difference to the normal idiots who want to sit on your bumper.
-
Limestone grey R on the a34 in Perry barr birmingham. That colour looks real good.
-
Lapiz Blue R on the A1 coming off at Stevenage on Weds; Pure White R in Hemel Hempstead yesterday afternoon (with the Prets, it looked fantastic :cool:)

Spotted a grey GTE in Derby on Friday night. It was opposite me at the lights and although speed clearly isnt a problem for it, I have to say im not a fan of the the LED lights in the bumper, compared to the xenons they look like halford specials... in face my initial thought was whats this twit done to his bluemotion but it shot off and i saw the gti rear clusters and thought ooooh that must the be GTE thingybob... :smiley:
***Correction*** E-Golf :wink:

Had a right chuckle Saturday night. Saw a friend of mine whose family are in the car trade he was driving a white 'gti' or was it. As he drove off it sounded like a diesel. After talking to him it turns out its a 2.0l diesel that has been fully converted in to a GTI. Bumpers lights seats gearstick steering wheel roof lighting the door and sill lights the whole 9 yards. What a waste of bloody money. They bought it second hand and he said I will drive it for a few weeks and then get rid of it. Any one who is interested keep your eyes peeled.

Spotted a white 5dr UK reg R in Bunratty, Ireland on 16/01. Looked spotless considering the distance it had travelled. Reg started with DP14.
-
Limestone Grey R in Port Talbot on Prets, very nice. Seems a popular R colour compared to the GTI/GTD's.
-
Carbon grey GTD today around 10:35am at St Stephen's mini roundabout. Looked very nice :smiley:

It's beggars belief. The not GTi as I refer to it.

It's amazing how popular the R has become. Within the space of a few miles this morning I've spotted three on the road, lapiz blue, pure white and black all on the M8 round Glasgow. I've honestly seen far more R's than I have GTI's
-
Today 1-ish on route from Canterbury to Whitstable (via Radfall), a very nice white R driven idiotically
-
Outside Newtown swimming bats Birmingham going towards Perry Barr. As I cycled up to the lights I see a DPB learner Golf. My eyes hit the rear lights only to realise it's a GTD. I learnt in a micro lucky learner driver gets a new GTD.
